Every time I start up my computer a winfixer pop-up screen appears and when I search the internet I'm directed to the winfixer site. I have used ctrl+alt+del to find out what process was behind winfixer 2005 installer and removed that one (uwfx5lp_0001_0614NetInstaller.exe) however that did not have any effect and since I am not a computer expert I am wondering if removing this file could have any negative consequences. Besides that I would off course also like to know how I can savely remove Winfixer since this program is really driving me crazy. I believe I have followed all steps from the guide (I have installed and run cleanup, ad-aware, cwshredder, spybot S&D, ewido, trend housecall, sp1a, restarted my computer, and finally installed HijackThis, my Norton Antivirus scanner is still active so I did not install any other antivirus program (I hope)).

I have added my HijackThis logfile and the report created by ewido and hope you can help me.
